"Home is…" in the lakes, potentially

Christmas saw us up in the Lake District, and a chance to do some general landscape photography as well as looking for potential locations for "Home is…"

First stop (for breakfast), a lay-by on a B-road at a location that can best be described as "Somewhere near Cartmel", because I didn't make a note of the exact location.  Mainly a chance to have a bit of a play with long-exposure shots of water, in the low lighting conditions.

We then headed for the coast, and Ravenglass, a nice, small little village we visited a lot during Amys Cumbrian Coast Railways project when we were at Uni.  Decent weather, and the place was deserted.  Potential for some locations here for "Home is…" with the wide open spaces.

Though care to be taken, on those wide open spaces, and no picking up souvenirs whilst we're doing shoots out there...

Another potential location here, at the yard of the Ravenglass and Eskdale railway, but would need permission asking.

Lunch was a picnic at another good potential spot, at the summit of the Hardknot Pass.  Might need a 4x4 though rather than our little car...

On the way back, and not for the first time whilst doing recce runs for this project, we found our way blocked by animals…

So some good spots; we will be returning in early 2014 for the actual shots, perhaps with some of the different room sets rather than the living room we've used so far. 

Coming up in the next posts, some location hunting in the West Midlands.
